Play Ato on Xbox and you can be sure of one thing – you’re going to become a bit of a dab hand in the art of sword duelling. But not necessarily in ways you may think.Â
Head to Japan with Ato
Available to purchase, download and play right now on Xbox is Ato. It’s from the team at Tiny Warrior Games, as they deliver a tiny warrior gaming experience. Playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, it’s all priced pretty well too. I mean, that £11.99 asking price is pretty tempting, no?
Consider what is on offer in Ato on Xbox, and that price gets better still. A game sest in Feudal Japan, it has you seemingly playing as a father, off on a quest to save his child from evil. It’s here where the atmospheric storytelling is promised, as cherry blossoms bloom, as the metroidvania elements start to come into focus.Â
Ultimately though, it’s about sword-swiping your way through an adventure. And that should be where Ato shines, as you take down foes, evade attacks and make the most of a host of abilities and skills.
